Thread: Walls for haunts?

Tweet

This is the first year I'm incorporating some "walls" into my display! I will cut regular large garbage bags into long rectangles, and tape 'em up! The main goals are to create some darker areas, scare people from behind them, so TOT's can't see into the other areas before they're supposed to, and to hold in some fog.

What do you use to create walls? If there's something better out there, I will use it!

bin bags will be most likely to rip, im no expert but i would recomend black cloth (strong cloth) and a strong frame, otherwise tot's may damage your walls and ruin your haunt.

I use lumber wrap and frame it up with carpet tubes.

i'm using skids but i sure need alot but its giving me a real good feeling creepy creepy so far

Black plastic sheeting in Walmart's paint section-next to clear plastic rolls of drop cloth-its fairly thick and won't just split apart. I remember comparing thickness to trashbags, and it was substantially heavier. Can't remember price, not super cheap but alot of square feet. I used this inside my crypt to cover up the foam walls(can look in my album photos). Some websites sell rolls of black out material (not sure if its paper, plastic?) for I believe $20(plus shipping) for a 4x100ft roll. I have also thought of using black plastic tablecloth that comes in rolls at party stores.

Thanks!

that sounds like a great idea! how exactly are you doing it? nailing a couple together and standing them up? how are you going to support them to stay up? inquiring minds!

I use landscape fabric and furring strips:

@terra, your walls are pretty awesome, this has given me inspiration for an easy way to make a garage haunt, allthough i'll need to make sure that i'll have enough storage room

Pallets!
